I've decided to sell my C4 to make room for a different model.

 

Brief Overview, High-Level Info:  The car comes with the original stock L98 350, which has the Bosch Tuned Port Injection system, and is mated to a THM automatic transmission.  Baseline published horsepower was 230 HP with 330 lb-ft of torque.  There were 39,729 corvettes built for the production year 1985.  My car is 1 of 3,579 built with factory paint code '81' (Bright Red) and interior code of '152' (medium gray leather) and number 35,437 of the overall production year.  This model year was the second year for the C4 and was a huge improvement over the 1984 model - there was no 1983 production car.  The original option codes label can be seen in one of my pictures.

 

Overall Vehicle Condition:   The car should considered a Condition #2 car or Excellent condition for it's age - (Condition #1 would be cars that are completely flawless cars and are the best of the best.  The car should present that same as it did when it was built, flawless).  Condition #2 essentially means the car could win local/regional events and shows, it may have flaws but would require a seasoned observer or judge to find.  The car should represent it's era well and be of the nicest condition possible.  The car still has the majority of the assembly markings on it (usually little dabs of white paint on various components) and also still has the original factory stickers in the engine bay and the Quality Control signature sticker on the driver's door.  The car currently has 26,540 miles on it - it gets driven sometimes so that may go up a little by the time the car is sold, but it would not be a significant amount.

 

Vehicle Condition Details:  There are no issues/problems/concerns with any of the body, interior, drivetrain or electronics on the car.  The acrylic Targa Roof panel is still in Excellent condition, as well as all of the weather-stripping.  The car presents original but has had the original Air Conditioning system upgraded to R134a in 2006 (of which, is still very nice and cold).  The car has also had the tires, battery, and heater control valve changed.  I don't know for certain if the brake pads have been changed since I haven't owned the car for it's entire history.  Paint appears to be in above-average condition; no webbing or hairline cracks in the paint, the paint shows great for the age of car.  Obviously the paint does show some slight fade because of it's age, but it's not due to neglect or abuse.  The car also shows signs of use on the front bumper cover and lower air dam.  The car has the original 3.5" air dam on it and as I mentioned, it shows sign of usage.  Interior is as expected; minimal to no signs of wear show in the leather seats, center console dash panels.  The instrument cluster works as originally designed and does not have any blacked out spots.  The door thresholds have some very minor wear from climbing in and out of the car.  As seen in a lot of older cars, the rear carpet shows some signs of age; some of the carpet pile fibers appear to have been vacuumed a little aggressive.

 

The car is kept in a climate controlled garage and is always kept clean.  The car is cleaned after each use, both inside and out, which includes engine bay, wheel wells, and under-carriage.

I'm not in a hurry to sell it but I'm open to all reasonable offers; I'll be taking the car to Bloomington Gold at the end of this month so if I don't sell it by then it will have some additional miles on it.

 

I have the car for sale through word-of-mouth and some other listing services, if it sells I'll cancel the auction.

 

Shipping:  Buyer is responsible for ALL shipping expense; if buyer doesn't want to deal with it, I can arrange the shipping for an upfront fee that covers all shipping expenses and my time.  If you arrange shipping you need to make sure your driver is aware that this car only has a front-end curb clearance of 3".

 

Thanks.

2020 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra recalled due to faulty brake component

Wed, Mar 11 2020

General Motors is recalling 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups to fix a defect in the trucks' brake system. Certain Silverado and Sierra pickups were produced with brake-caliper bolts that were not heat-treated. Without heat-treating, the bolts are weaker than they should be, and there is a risk that they could fail, which would affect the trucks' braking performance, possibly leading to a crash. In total, 20,352 vehicles are affected. Owners of affected trucks will be contacted by GM. Dealers will inspect the bolts and replace those that are defective. Related Video:      

2023 Detroit Auto Show Mega Photo Gallery: All the new reveals and first looks

Wed, Sep 13 2023

The 2023 Detroit Auto Show didn’t play host to a lot of reveals, but on top of the new cars that were revealed there, automakers brought a whole bunch of cars we havenÂ’t seen in person yet. In a show of home strength, all the big reveals came from the hometown Big Three, with Ford, GM and Stellantis playing host to the most important unveilings. We took Huntington Place by storm to capture all of the new cars and sights to see in Detroit, and you can see everything we did in the series of galleries below. Interesting special editions like the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum Black Edition and the 2024 Chevrolet Camaro CollectorÂ’s Edition found some floor space alongside bigger debuts like the refreshed gasoline-powered F-150 and 2024 Jeep Gladiator with its new interior. If you wanted to see it all yourself, make sure you check out our guide on how to attend the public show days.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
